Automatic toilets need to be banned. They waste water because they flush while you are still sitting on them (thus, requiring another flush). They vascillate between the extremes of not sensitive enough to movement (not flushing when you leave the stall), or too darn sensitive (thus giving your rear a second shower).

Gahhhhhh! Stupid toilets.

[EDIT: For those RevGal folks finding this post, I feel like I should have made this post more theological by using one of my fiance's favorite metaphors: Jesus as the heavenly toilet who flushes our sins away... :-)]

Oh my goodness - welcome to my SOAPBOX! I don't think they will ever work in a women's room because what self-respecting woman would open the door BEFORE flushing the toilet leaving open the possibility she will need to go back and flush herself HENCE ADMITTING that she did something that needed to be flushed!

The toilets in our local fancy-galleria-type-shoppin'-place (we actually have one of these in Outer Podunk) are the explosive, tsunami-wave ones...yikes! Still not as scary as the "fire toilets," used in tundra country, that Kelly Fryer mentions in Reclaiming the "L" Word.

About Me

I'm just a follower of Jesus trying my best to live a grounded, rhythmed life in the midst of changing times. I invite you to come along with me as I struggle, discern, rant, celebrate, and sort my way through all the jumbled thoughts in my head.

On a more practical level, I live in Chebeague Island, ME. I love to play games of the Tabletop Variety (as well as RPGs), am fascinated by neo-monasticism and new (old!) forms of church, love to knit (though badly), and enjoy drinking strong coffee, watching sunsets, and talking into the wee hours of the morning with friends - when I manage to stay up past 11 PM.
